Drzewiecki was last heard from in Texas in 1982. She had worked in a local strip club (Doll's House at 6509 E Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75231) using the name Cherry and days before her disappearance she had a baby. Foul play is suspected.

[b]I don't know if these two are related or not.
But they just seem to go together.
Like they have a connection.

Good eye!

They were missing within 2 months of each other, and mere miles away... I wonder if their bodies were placed near each other? Or if the SK just came down 45 into a different region to get rid of them? Could have been a 'fishing' trip or something...?

Distinguishing Characteristics: Brown hair, brown eyes. Diaz speaks fluent Spanish. She has a loud, distinct voice with no Spanish accent. She sucks her thumb. Diaz often twists her hair around her fingers while she is speaking. Many agencies spell Diaz's name "Rose Mary."Clothing Description: A black shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, a gold pendant with an imprinted image of the Virgin Mary, and an amethyst ring.

Details of Disappearance: Diaz was last seen working her part-time job at Dane's Country Store on Highway 71 in her hometown of Danevang, Texas on November 24, 1990. She called her mother between 7:00 and 7:35 p.m. that evening from the store. The conversation terminated when Diaz stated a customer had arrvived. Customers discovered the store was abandoned shortly after Diaz phoned her mother. Diaz's vehicle and her belongings, including her purse, were still at the store, but there was no sign of her. She has never been heard from again. "That day, a local man who wore an eye patch and was nicknamed "One-Eyed Joe" had snapped a Polaroid photo of Rosemary, police say. The picture was found on the store counter. According to Marek, the man was interviewed and cleared, yet the circumstances around the photo remain unclear."

Authorities do not believe Diaz left of her own accord. She was an honors student at the time of her disappearance and was excited because her older sister was about to bring over her infant for Diaz to meet for the first time. Investigators determined that the only possible evidence of a struggle inside the business was a soda machine that had been moved three to four inches from its normal resting place, and a small dent on a filing cabinet. The cash register was found closed and no money was missing; robbery was evidently not the motive for Diaz's apparent abduction.

Amanda left her family's residence in Orangefield, TX during the early morning hours of April 28, 1991. She took all of her personal belongings and emptied her parents' wallets. That same night, another neighborhood friend of Amanda's also ran away.

A year later, Slaughter's friend returned home safe. She refused to say where she had been and what had happened to Slaughter. (((What??? This is just not acceptable!))) She may travel to California or Washington. .......Rumors indicated the girls were dancing in strip clubs in Houston, but their mothers went to several such places and did not find them.

Slaughter has a history of running away from home, but she had never been gone for an extended period of time before. Her mother believes she ran in 1991 with an older man, possibly a 19-year-old Caucasian male. She thinks they moved to the Tacoma, Washington area and Slaughter used the alias Paula Michelle Henry. Slaughter's mother has not been able to prove her theory, however. She believes her daughter may be now be living in Houston, dancing in strip clubs under an assumed name.

After Slaughter disappeared, her family started receiving many phone calls where the caller would not say anything. The calls stopped about four months after Slaughter vanished. Authorities traced them to Galveston, Texas, but could not determine whether they were from Slaughter.

If Amanda is dancing at a Houston nightclub, she is doing it under an assumed name because police do not have a record of Amanda or the alias in their system, said Sgt. Stuart Harris, Houston Police Department missing persons supervisor.

Exotic dancers are required to register with police in Houston.

In regard to the above quote - this is incorrect.

A dancer only has to register for a SOB (Sexually Oriented Business) License if she is dancing inside Harris County, and doesn't want to wear full back bottoms and pasties. You have to obtain those licenses from the Houston Police Department in downtown Houston, and nobody in their right mind would strut into a police department with a fake ID trying to get a SOB license - you must also divulge what club you work in primarily, get fingerprinted, have all tattoos and scars photographed and recorded, and be photographed yourself... AFTER they run your ID for warrants, etc.

If you're buying or borrowing an ID from someone with which to do this, you must have a LOT of trust in that individual to not get you arrested once you're in there.

However, in Galveston County, there is no such licensure to obtain. Therefore, the calls from Galveston make sense, if she is dancing down there. Additionally, there are relatively few topless bars in Galveston County - I wonder if they scoured those and handed out photos to the clubs and to all of the police departments down there? If someone was trying to make cash while dancing and maintaining a low profile, they wouldn't go to the big glitzy places in the city - they would go further south... Less competition with other professional girls, less questions asked, lower living expenses further south, and the ratty clubs are more likely to hire underage girls (or those without proper identification) since they have less to lose than the big incorporated places.

So, keep your eyes out for women missing after leaving clubs between Galveston and Louisiana... Even though the name might be wrong, or age is off a bit, try to match photos...

Bishop was last seen at the Diamond Jim's Club on Butternut Street (map attached) in Abilene, Texas on October 3, 1981.Authorities interviewed deceased serial killer Henry Lee Lucas about Bishop's disappearance. Lucas denied involvement in her case. Foul play is possible.

Middle...Debra Kay Stewart
Travis County, Texas
19 to 20 year old black/african american female
Date LKA May 21, 1976

Jennifer...Circumstances Unknown. Jennifer was last known to have gone to the movies with a friend. After the movie, they were last seen in the area of 11th St. and Waller Street talking to a male individual.

Debra...Debra Stewart was last seen leaving her job at Sears in South Austin on May 21, 1976.
Stewart, a communications student, lived in an apartment in the 2700 block of Manor Road. She supposedly left Sears to go see a doctor because she hadn't been feeling well. She had a chronic kidney condition.
Her abandoned car was found two days later, with the keys in the ignition. No signs of foul play were found in her car or apartment.
Investigators searched in several states. Her parents hired a private detective, who was unable to turn up additional clues.
Foul Play Possible.

There is a chance the two above may be connected.

I agree with you, Mr. TT - Less than a week after Jennifer J. Barton disappeared, so did Debra Stewart - and only 2.5 miles away from each other. I mapped the distance from the University of Texas Student Health Center (where Stewart had an appointment that day) to approximate location of the East 11th Street area bar at which Barton was last seen. I've included a map for easy reference.

Date Of Birth: January 24, 1980
Age at Time of Disappearance: 9 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 4'5; 50 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair; brown eyes. She has Asian features.
Marks, Scars: Robbins has a small scar on her right eyebrow. She has small freckles on her left cheek.Clothing: Robbins was last seen wearing black spandex pants with green stripes down the sides; a white pullover shirt with a multicolored tree design and white sneakers.
Dentals: Available

Robbins was last seen playing outside of her home at approximately 17:30 on May 14, 1989.

A witness saw Robbins enter a light gray Dodge or Plymouth two-door sedan shortly after that time.
The driver was an unidentified white male who was in his early to mid-20's with short brown combed back hair and no facial hair.

He stopped the car near where Jenna and a six year old friend were playing and motioned for the children to come to the car. The six year old refused, but Jenna was convinced to go for a ride.

Due to the location of Killeen, I would keep an eye out for UIDs found around Huntsville or the Sam Houston State Park/National Forest.

Terrie Hefner
Dallas County, Texas
19 to 20 year old white female
Circumstances Hefner was a resident of Texas when she disappeared in April 1984. She was last seen in Dallas, Texas. Hefner may have traveled to Louisiana.

If all 3 were murdered.
Since they are considered missing.
It could have been committed by the same person.
All 3 may have a connection to each other.

Circumstances of DisappearanceAlaniz was last seen on March 7, 1987 in El Paso, Texas. Her disappearance may be linked to the disappearances of several young women in the El Paso area the same year. Most women were then located murdered. Two other young women, Marjorie Knox, 14, who vanished on February 14, 1987, from nearby Chaparral, New Mexico, and Cheryl Vasquez-Dismukes are still missing and, like Melissa Alaniz, presumed dead by authorities. Police have identified a suspect in the case, an ex-convict with a history of violence against females who was paroled in January 1987 just a few days before the beginning of this string of murders and disappearances. He denied any involvement in the cases and was never charged. He matches the description of the man one victim was last seen with, was seen riding a motorcycle with another months before she died and witnesses have placed him at the convenient store Cheryl Vasquez was last seen at....More at link above.Wonder what hes been up to?He has a motorcycle and has me wondering about those keys.

Something to keep an eye on.

Hey, I just saw another one from El Paso last seen on a motorcycle! ...lemme find it...
